D-Cup and IC

Last week we ventured to Iowa to spend time with
family and friends. We also managed to make our
way to Iowa City to watch the Hawkeyes beat
the Fighting Illini and to participate in "The
Dennison Cup."--A tailgating contest! Here are several
photos of our trip to IC.

Apparently this Illinois fan thought she was at
the Illinois/Michigan game?! Either way, we
loved her shirt!

Ahhh, the beginning of the self portraits. It's hard
to believe we could muster a smile. Our arms were
freezing because we slipped a bunch of beer up
our sleeves before heading in to the game. Apparently
you don't get frisked by security if you look like you're
30!

Am I the only one who remembers these guys
from 10 years ago?!

With my old friend Todd, our D-Cup host.

Did I mention that Iowa actually won?!

Who let this guy sit at our table?

Get your minds out of the gutter--it's a beer funnel!

Iowa City's finest were impressed that we were
still tailgating well into the early evening. Of course,
we went straight from the tailgate to the bars.
I am proud to say that Pat LOVED Iowa City-
he even felt that downtown IC rivaled
Auburn and Athens (actually I think he even
liked IC better!).

The end is near. I think we left for our hotel
shortly after these photos were taken. Needless
to say, we did NOT win the D-Cup contest this
year. We did, however, have a great time.

We definitely won't wait 9 more years to trek
back to the land of the Hawkeyes!
